Chapter 21 Chapter 21 Valerie shook her head desperately, struggling continuously. "Duncan, you can't do this to me. I never bullied Rosalie, I didn't do anything. I only did what you told me to do. Please, let me go, will you?" Seeing that she still refused to admit it, Duncan let out a cold sneer. "Heh, Valerie, do you really think I know nothing about what you've done?" "My people told me everything. At the party that day, you deliberately fell down the stairs to frame Rosalie, and you even wanted her to give up her place for you. Before, when you didn't show up in front of me, I wasn't going to pursue it. But now that you've insisted on coming to me, it's time for you to pay it all back!" His voice was so cold it could almost freeze the air. Hearing this, Valerie's heart kept sinking, finally hitting rock bottom. She couldn't understand how, in just a few short days, Duncan had changed so completely. If it were before, even if he knew the truth, as long as she still had this face, he would never have done anything to her. Why now, in just a few days, could he stop loving Angela so completely and start caring about Rosalie? Valerie was utterly panicked. Instinctively, she knelt on the ground and pleaded, "Mr. Hernandez, please let me go, will you? I know I was wrong. I'll leave far away and never appear in front of you again. I'm begging you, just spare me this once!" "My face looks so much like Angela's. For Angela's sake, can't you just not take revenge on me?" She was truly terrified now. In the past, when Duncan resented Rosalie, Rosalie was tormented countless times. Now it was her turn-what would happen to her? She didn't even dare to think about it. mercy, Even as he watched Valerie kneel and kowtow, begging for Duncan's expression remained unchanged, his eyes filled only with cruelty. "What a pity. You're begging for mercy too late." "Well? Take her away! She framed Rosalie and threw herself down the stairs-then let her experience what it's like to be pushed down the stairs ten times!" "Once she's recovered a bit, make her repay Rosalie's blood tenfold. Now, everything was over, She didn't know how many times she was pushed down the stairs. In the end, Valerie was so desperate that her heart turned to ashes, and she finally lost consciousness. In the last moment before she fainted, she belatedly realized that Duncan was a complete madman! He had never had a shred of feeling for her from beginning to end. She had been foolish, mistaking his concern for Angela as concern for herself. She had been so stupid. She didn't know how many days she spent recuperating in the hospital, but eventually Valerie's body finally recovered. Yet Duncan's bodyguards stayed by her side without leaving for a moment. They didn't take care of her, they only watched her suffering with cold eyes. And when her body had recovered, they held her down to draw her blood. They kept drawing blood until she fainted, then let her rest for a while, and drew more. After repeating this over and over for who knows how many days, the bodyguards finally left. Valerie sat dazed on the hospital bed, her whole body emaciated and withered, her face waxen and bloodless.
